Shadow Ops discussion

The official SGM Twitter has revealed a new silver Parasoul variant called Shadow Ops. Shadow Ops' SA first applies curse on hit to the opponent either while they are close to a tear or from a blockbuster. Then her SA gives Shadow Ops a timerless stack of a new Thorns buff from either hitting the cursed opponent or hitting the cursed opponent near a tear. Thorns itself is a buff that gives the fighter that it is applied to damage reflection. What do you all think of this new variant and the Thorns buff as a whole?
